MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3l.-The attempt
to settle the loss resulting from the dis
astrous fire which occurred at Ironwood,
Mich, on the Gogehic range a few days
ago, has brought to light an infamous
combination of insurance sharks who
have been robbing the merchants and
property holders of Upper Michigan. In
the recent fire the property destroyed was
valued at about 800, 600, and the insur-
ance carried is about $50, 900. 1t tran
spires that none OF the old time compa-
MES nor others having a license to do
business in Wisconsin carried any risks
there.
Nearly all the insurance was carried by
three companies, having as their nominal
headquarters Lincoln. Neb., Louisville,
and New Orleans. The insured parties
never dealt directly with the companies,
but through agents, who delivered the
policies and collected the premiums.
Seven per cent was charged on all risks,
and owing to the difficulty of getting in
surance this premium was paid. As these
companies now repudiate the claims, say
ing they know nothing of ever having
carried such risks, it is thought that the
companies and their INSCRIPTIONS agents
pooled their issues. Suits will be brought
in the United States courts as a last resort
and criminal proceedings may follow.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-Rev. j. Villa
Blake, pastor of the Third Unitarian
church, delivered a sermon at the morning
service Yesterday to a large congregation,
taking for his subject, Reasons why the
anarchists should not hang"
In the course of his remarks he said he
thought they were guilty men, but they
belonged to a different order from that of
burglars and assassins and ~highwaymen.
Then again these men are in part the
product of hard social conditions. Misery
and rebellion, caused by centuries of Euro
pean tyranny. is in their blood Just as
much as the self control and sobriety of
the Puritans is in our blood. 1t may be
said that these men would be excusable in
Europe but not here, where we have a
free ballot box. But have we a pure
ballot box? Have not u Legislators been
bought and sold, elections tempered with,
the very ballot boxes stolen? And are not
gigantic and oppressive concentrations of
capital fraudulently and ~fagrantly outrag-
ing the law, purchasing law makers and
defying the people? l know not what to
call such acts but crimes; and these crimes
make anarchists.
At the conclusion of his sermon the
pastor read a long petition to the governor
praying for a Communication of the sem
tence. About 100 signatures were OBJ
tanned and a committee was appointed to
90 to Springfield and present the petition
to the governor.
